The Slide Job City 50 was a very entertaining race. Smallz set fast time with a 12.01, his 2nd straight fast time. The ten lap Heat Race saw JW hold off Smallz for the victory from his 3rd starting spot. The redraw was a 4, inverting the top four, putting Shock on the pole with Rainman next to him on the front row. Racing was wild from the start with Rainman & Shock throwing slide jobs on both sides of the track from the opening lap. JW & Smallz stayed patient waiting for the top two to take each other out.
At Lap 30 JW had a 1.5 second lead over Smallz when the caution came out for Rainman & Shock who had tangled. Rainman had to retire with four flat tires. The restart with 20 to go had JW leading, Smallz 2nd, Shock 3rd, & a Hard Charging KingGinger from his 8th starting spot. KG was running for $60 if he could pull off the upset. JW was able to get away & lead the final 20 laps easily winning. Smallz, Shock, & KG threw 20 laps worth of slide jobs at each other, many times all three trying to slide each other in the same turn. KG was the cleaniest & was able to squeak out a well deserved 2nd place finish followed by Smallz & Shock.
Fascheck pulled off a few laps early with what he called "A major vibration in the rear end." We found out later he had forgotten to take out the batteries of his "massage toy" which he stated he needed for his "sore back" from carrying JW's jock strap for a majority of the night. New to the online racing was FrontDoor. He did a great job of racing clean & not interfering with the leaders.
